Heathrow bosses 'warned about substation' days before major power outage, MP committee hears
Wednesday, 2 April 2025 Heathrow Airport bosses had been warned of potential substation failures less than a week before a major power outage closed the airport for a day, a committee of MPs has heard.
Care Minister Stephen Kinnock welcomed the removal of job adverts for floristry and hairdressing tutors at Heathrow’s immigration detention centre, calling them “excessive and unnecessary.”

Heathrow has submitted its latest plans for a third runway at Europe’s busiest airport. The total cost, including new terminals and infrastructure, will be £49 billion pounds. The airport says expansion will create up to 40,000 new jobs and add 0.43% to the UK’s GDP by 2050. However, the plans will face fierce opposition from locals, politicians and climate campaigners.

Dr Caterina Brandmayr, Director of Policy and Translation at the Grantham Institute, says Heathrow Airport's expansion would make it "very challenging for the aviation sector to decarbonise", potentially impacting the government's current net zero targets.

Justine Bayley says she has not been offered any compensation from the government over Heathrow's expansion, but fears a third runway would mean that she will need ear defenders "every time I open the front door".

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.
